Loopring is a software that runs on Ethereum. The Loopring platform is based on an open protocol that seeks to simplify the process of establishing decentralised exchanges and allowing asset transfers across as many of these platforms as feasible.

Daniel Wang, a Chinese software developer who previously worked at Google and JD.com established Loopring.

• Loopring’s primary value proposition is its platform’s integration of innovative cryptography. 

• zkRollups is one approach to improve the Ethereum blockchain’s suitability for DeFi applications.

• It utilises a well-known approach in cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs. This enables a computer programme to claim something without actually revealing it.

You should invest in LRC if you believe traders will continue to use decentralised exchanges alongside regular options and that Loopring has the edge over alternatives owing to the innovative encryption it employs.

Analysts predict that Loopring will gain widespread adoption in the near future, as it is one of the few platforms with all necessary capabilities.

• Protocol’s critical activities: The Loopring cryptocurrency, LRC, is required for the protocol’s critical activities. For example, anybody wishing to operate a decentralized exchange on Loopring must secure at least 250,000 LRC, which permits the operator to operate an exchange that makes use of the operator’s on-chain data proofs.

• Receive trading fees: Any user can stake LRC to receive a share of the protocol’s trading fees. Around 70% of fees go to these users.

• Investing: One can invest in Loopring coins and take the benefit of the price appreciation.

• Exchange: Users can exchange Loopring coins and receive other cryptocurrencies or traditional money.

• Quick and inexpensive: zero-knowledge Rollups combine hundreds of transfers into a single transaction using zero-knowledge proofs, allowing for quick and inexpensive exchanges to occur outside the Ethereum network.

• Assurance: Each batch of transactions is uploaded to the Ethereum blockchain, accompanied by zero-knowledge proofs that enable anybody to recreate the off-chain transactions. This assures that transactions are legitimate and have not been tampered with by any outside parties.

• Transparency: Loopring does away with the requirement for users to transfer their tokens to an exchange-based wallet for safekeeping. Loopring keeps the user’s tokens in the user’s blockchain address while trading and transactions are being completed.

• Competition: Loopring is up against stiff competition from the likes of Kyber Network and 0x.

• The platform is easy to use for experienced as well as new investors. 

• CoinSwitch allows you to manage all of your coins, including Loopring Coins. 

• Carry out instant investment and redemption of LRC tokens. 

• Start trading without any fees.

Loopring raised $120,000 in ether worth $45 million in an initial coin sale in 2017. However, a tightening of rules governing such as sales in China at the time forced Loopring to return a large portion of their funds from their public sale.
